3913TSW price

[JumpinJack]

I have a hold on a 3913 TSW, the 7 shot prerail. It's in great shape with the box for $525. While I know that's no bargain, is this a fair price for a gun that was made for only 2 yrs?

One of my favorites and hard to come by, if it fits your hand you can't go wrong. A new stainless/alloy 3rd generation S&W retails for $900+ when they do run them, so the price isn't out of line. No doubt someone will jump in here that bought one for $200 with 1K of ammo thrown in.

Fair price IMO, on a superb and scarce pistol. Buy it, shoot it, love it! Regards 18DAI.

I had one these in a 3953. It's joined the list of the guns I regret selling.

It must be the picture, but those I have never seen grips on a S&W 3rd gen that looked like that before. As 18DAI said, it is a fair price, especially taking in rare factor, plus pre-rail--which most people don't care for the looks of, and when compared to the going prices of a 3913 LS.

I think it's a little steep. Would want to see at least 2 mags for that price.

I wish I could say so, but unfortunately, I paid about $550 for mine last April. That included two magazines but no case.

Cheers!

I paid $400 in January for one LNIB, round count of 14, with four mags.

If it were a 3913 I'd have to say you may have paid a few bucks more than I would. Not a lot but a few.
As it stands, the TSW suffix is definitely worth the extra dinero. Hand fitted autos are a dream to operate. You did not pay too much.

From what I've seen, they go for between $400 and $600, depending on condition. Occasionally, you'll see one for more or less, but that's the exception.

I don't think it's out of line. I bought my pre-rail for $400 at least three years ago. Just the gun and one mag, no box. I managed to find three of the short mags over time at gunshows/shops at a good price and snapped them up.

It's a very nice gun, that's interesting as well.

I have a 3953tsw prerail and I love the short grip. conceals a little better than a 3913. cs9 mags work

State abbreviations have a lot to do with prices.

NJ, MA, CA

Normal purchase price, you did OK.

Look at the prices of Glocks in MA compared to the rest of the country.

Not a bad price the TSW is hand fitted?
there are a few 3953s listed on GB with higher #s. The 3913s are slowly creeping up in price (as everything else) If you are happy dont fret it
nice find.

Good price. Not great and not a ripoff by any means. I got lucky a year ago and got a NIB 3914 TSW for $500. *BUT* it has the rail, and I prefer non-rail models. Great shooter though!

 

[JumpinJack]

Well that's it then...I'll buy the gun. I contacted the factory and they can do a de-cock only conversion with a single side safety. Not as slim as that 3953TSW I foolishly sold but it will do for now. Thank's for the imput.

....

The Tactical models have features formerly found only on guns from S&W's Performance Center. Foremost of these is a change in the slide and frame that provides full length contact between the two parts. The second is a change in the barrel lockup geometry that delays unlocking for a tiny fraction of a second longer. The slide-to-frame fit is incredibly tight as are the shot groupings.

You should find matching numbers on the underside of the slide and underneath the grips.

For some reason I thought S&W could convert your 3913TSW to DAO. That would make it very similar and just as slim as the 3953TSW you had.

Sweet gun. I love the short grip and the slide/frame fit. I don't think you did too bad for it's rarity, quality and the box would be about $25 to buy separately.
Congratulations and good luck with it.

Yup, sweet little carry 9mm's. I paid $450 for a nice 3913TSW a little over a year ago so I don't think $525 is way out of line for a nice one. Especially since they are getting harder and harder to find and like labworm said, living on the east coast bumps up the price!

 

[JumpinJack]

The gun is off hold and paid for. I hope to have it by next week. Thank's for the imput.
